"Really?" asked Shalyn.

"Yes! They get scoldings from Mr Samuel almost every single week for eating in class, back in when we were in high school." replied Eli.

I walked into the boutique and began looking around.

Taylor pulled out a dress and smiled. She went up to me and asked, "Hmm, what about this?"

"Yeah, I'll go try it on." I replied with no emotions.

"I think she found it," Taylor exclaimed.

"Can you tie the back?" I asked to Eli.

Eli nodded and gently pulled the ribbon at my back.

"It's lovely," Shalyn said, getting teary.
